COKE ZERO COUNTDOWN | FINAL FOUR

White River State Park | Indianapolis, IN | April 2015

The Final Four has become more than simply a college basketball weekend, with the March Madness Music Festival serving as a great example of this evolution. Over the past three years, we have worked closely with Turner Sports and their Champion sponsor, Coca-Cola, to produce intermission entertainment throughout Saturday's Coke Zero Countdown. In 2015, we focused on activating Coke Zero's "Frenemy" and "#OpenToTry" campaigns, incorporating these elements into stage contests such as the "Frenemy Spelling Bee" and "#OpenToTry Hidden Talents Competition". Headlined by Rihanna and Passion Pit, this year's concert did a great job of setting the stage for the Final Four semifinals.

Comedian, Kevin Hart, entertained the crowd throughout the day, with Coke Zero's #ProveIt campaign integrated into his talking points. His live commentary over a series of fan cam features was comedic gold.

Musical artists included LL Cool J, Tim McGraw and the The Killers.

INFINITI TIP-OFF TAILGATE | FINAL FOUR

AT&T Stadium | Arlington, TX | April 2014

In Texas, they do everything bigger, so it only made sense that the scope of the Infiniti Tailgate would increase when plotted outside AT&T Stadium. The Capital One Quicksilver Stage provided entertainment for crowds in excess of 25,000 over Final Four weekend. Once again programming was focused around pep-rallies, fan contests and appearances by the each of the teams' bands, spirit squad and mascots.

Centennial Olympic Park | Atlanta, GA | April 2013

In our first year working on Capital One JamFest, the primary goal was to create entertaining intermission breaks that enhanced Capital One's marketing platforms and presented a fluid run-of-show throughout the day. Annual traditions were established like Scotty B's "Stage Host Crowd Surf", live reports from the activation spaces, t-shirt tosses from the Capital One Ferris Wheel and celebrity appearances - all with the goal of presenting Capital One branding as entertainment versus advertising. Altanta's concert featured acts such as Sting and Dave Matthews Band.
